For anyone who's not clear how to test: compile a kernel using the
instructions at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild>,
with my patch applied.  You'll have to work around bug 498747, for
instance by doing "git checkout v2.6.32" to use an older kernel so it
compiles cleanly, or by applying the patch given there when (if) the
compile process fails for 2.6.33.  Compiling the kernel using those
instructions took about two hours on my U305 (100 minutes to actually
compile and then 20-30 minutes to make the .deb), so make sure you have
something else to do.  Say here whether or not it helps, and post the
output of "sudo dmidecode | grep -e Product -e Vendor".

Also, whether or not you want to test, if anyone is affected by this but
"sudo dmidecode | grep Product" does *not* output exactly either
"Satellite U305" or "Satellite Pro U300", please say so so that your
model can be included in the fix, since it won't be at present.

Finally, thanks to everyone who posted critical info here, particularly
jetdog, ktemkin, and the people who posted their DMI info -- I'm a PHP
programmer and barely touch C code, so I was basically just copy-pasting
to write the patch, and wouldn't have had a clue how to proceed without
the exquisitely thorough explanations and pointers given earlier in the
thread.
